Diagnosis.
Hoploscopa anacantha sp. nov. displays dark brown forewings with basal, median and postmedian white streak-like markings. In male genitalia, the gnathos projection forms a conspicuous triangle reaching half the length of the uncus. In female genitalia, the elongated bulging sclerotisation without thorn on corpus bursae is unique to this species.
Similar species.
No similar species known.
Description.
Head. Antennae dorsally dark brown. Proboscis white. Maxillary palpi dark brown, basally white. Labial palpi dark brown, ventro-basally white.
Thorax (Fig. 32 View Figures 19–33 ). Collar white. Forewing length: 9 mm (♂), 9-10 mm (♀); forewing ground colour dark brown; basal cubital streak and median triangular to streak-like patch white, edged with darker brown and few reddish brown scales; postmedian streak white, reddish brown toward middle of wing; fringes dark brown, with white dots. Hindwing pale brown. Legs brown.
Abdomen. Male sternum A8 posterior margin notched, laterally with short, rounded lateral projections.
Male genitalia (N = 2) (Fig. 71 View Figures 70–75 ). Uncus long, slender, with straight lateral margin, apex blunt. Gnathos projection broad, triangular, ca. half the uncus length, with small rounded apex. Valva ventral margin nearly straight, dorsal margin convex, apex pointed. Juxta with base quadrangular, medially narrowed, apex wide, truncate. Saccus small, quadrangular.
Female genitalia (N = 1) (Fig. 111 View Figures 111–114 ). Anterior apophyses without bump at posterior 1/3. Antrum sclerotisation short, as long as broad. Ductus bursae long, broadly curved before corpus opening. Corpus bursae globular, covered with erect papillae, reticulated at corpus opening, with well-marked elongated bulging sclerotisation running from corpus opening to middle of corpus bursae. Thorn absent.
Distribution.
Known from North Sulawesi (Indonesia) at altitudes between 1,000 m and 1,200 m.
Phylogenetic relationships.
This species is recovered sister to another similar but yet undescribed Hoploscopa species (DNA voucher MTD8238) from North Sulawesi (BS=67).
Etymology.
From the Greek a -, an -, without, and acantha, spine, referring to the absence of thorn on the corpus bursae of female genitalia. This name was suggested by Francesca Vegliante.
